“Support for color-blind players” — hooray! I had a great deal of trouble with the MP demo because I can’t distinguish the green from orange HUD cues, which delineate friend from foe. I had to rely on visual recognition of the uniform, which is less than ideal, especially when players are at some remove from me or behind cover.

Tosh: That is pretty cool they would put in support for color-blind players. How many games do that??

Many games, particularly since the turn of the millenium, have begun using blue and red to denote allies and enemies. Not many people are totally color-blind — most are red/green, and some have other problems as well (I’m red/green and blue/purple) — so for most folks blue/red is readily distinguishable.
